The tables are clean, but there’s not much space between them. The menu doesn’t have any photos. I only managed to eat half of the large portion of pancakes I ordered, which cost $19. The small cup of matcha was also quite expensive, at $9.

I LOVEEE THIS PLACE! The best Eggs Benedict’s ever! I got the crispy chicken Benedict and it was delicious with the potatoes. Excellent customer service. I highly recommend coming to this place. The seasoning and sauce they add to the dish is tasteful.
